Olive Culture IN California.

Col. EllwOOd Cooper the largest
olive grower and manufacturer of sweet
oil in the world, has been at the Lick
House for the last day or two. Before
he left yesterday on the Queen for his
big orchards near Santa Barbara he
gave some interesting running points
about the business. Santa Barbara is
the great olive country of the United
States and of the world, said the pros
porous grower but they can be
raised all the way from San Luis Obispo
to San Diego. | hear of few trees in
Georgia, but there is nowhere else in
America that they are produced except
in California. | have 100 acres now of
olive trees, eighty of which are bearing.
| began in rather a small way in 1873,
and have planted from 1000 to 5000
trees each winter ever since. 1t takes
the trees from four to six or seven years
to bear. | expect TO make from my
present crop from 10000 to $4,000 bot
ties of oil. Yes, there is the biggest
sort of a market right here al home for
every bottle that can be made. Cal
ifornia can't begin to produce the tenth
part that is required. The present crop
is very good. The trees are in fine con-
dition, and are bearing well. | employ
thirty men steadily, and a good deal of
the time | have from sixty to seventy.
| am engaged largely in raising nuts,

They are not so profitable rs the olives,
still they go very well with them. This
year l shall raise AT least ten carloads
of English walnuts and four or five of
almonds San Francisco Examiner

How the ISaIser Escaped

/ had myself been in Berlin when
both attacks were made upon the life of
the Emperor when Hoedle shot at him
from the crowd and Nobling from a
window overlooking the celebrated
street, Inter den Linden. A curious
little incident occurred upon the latter
occasion. As the Emperor was going
TO his afternoon drive in the Thiergarten
he asked an attendant standing IN the
hall of the palace why such an unusual
and gayly dressed crowd thronged the
streets.
''They go to see the Shah of Persia,
your Majesty" was the answer.
"Ah. then / also must put on gala
attire, the Emperor remarked, smiling.
and forthwith took from a table his
Prussian helmet, replacing with its steel
plating the military cloth cap which he
had before placed on his head. When
few hours later he was brought back
to the palace, wounded and bleeding.
the helmet was dented in several places
where the mixed shot used by Nobling
had struck against the metal. Had the
unresisting cloth been there instead
who can tell how different the ending
of the tragedy might have been?
Two or three days after the attempt
ed assassination the old monarch asked
TO see the clothes he had worn on that
fatal day. Looking at the military cape
riddled with shot and the dents in the
eagle-capped helmet, he turned to those
standing at his bedside and with tears
in his eyes said. pointing to the marks
of the bullets: THANK God. it was not
one of my own Berlin men who did
that. -BIdck1CO0d

The Indian and the Quicksilver.

Capt. John, an old Indian who lives
on the Rancho Chico and Is n well
known figure about our streets, was the
centre of an amused crowd of citizens
or Broadway to-day. Some one, for
joke, had dropped some quicksilver on
the stone pavement in front of the
postOffice and waited developments.
Capt. John and Old Daniel. the one
eyed Indian, soon hove in sight, and
the glittering but seductive quicksilver
caught their attention. John made a
grab for it with his thumb and finger
and he was astonished when he found
he couldn't pick it up. He was de-
termined to have that quicksilver any
way, so he unwound the bandanna
handkerchief from his neck, and
spreading it down, got a chip and
scraped the quicksilver into it. A look
of triumph shot from his eagle eye as
he gathered up the four corners and
emptied it into his pocket, but it was
replaced by one of terror and disgust
when the metal ran through his
pocket and trickled down his leg to the
sidewalk. Looking at the metal for
moment, as it lay upon the ground, in
a puzzled sort of way, he launched n
vicious kick at it, and uttered eiacula-
tons that were foreign 10 his childish
nature. 'Me gets chen; white man
mabeso too--smart" He turned on
his heel and left the quicksilver for some
other untutored son of he forest to ex-
pertinent on.-Chico. (Cal) Enter

4 New Zealand Episode.

A few short months ago a wealthy
farmer named Woodward owned some
property at Avondale, New Zealand.
He was in the sere and yellow leaf and
his teeth being all gone could no longer
crunch his victuals, while the wind
whistled shrilly through the empty
amphitheater of his jaws. Under these
circumstances he began to think Of
death and other cheerful subjects and
ultimately he made over all his proper
ty TO his wife, who was young and en-
terprising and had all her teeth still on
hand. Shortly after this Woodward
began to have an unholy glare in his
eve-at least his wife brought two
doctors who said so-and he was
shipped off to a madhouse. and when
he was elected from this place as per-
fectly sane it was only to be run into
the hospital and have mustard plasters
put on him. Here again he was
turned out cured in livery short time,
and then being destitute and hungry
he drifted into the Old Mems Refuge
among other old Migrants, and his wife,
beingssued for maintenance, allowed
him nine shillings per week. He now
hobbies aimlessly around with his leg
in a sling and his shiny head bowed
down--a solemn warning TO all old
men with young wives and real prop
